Three people have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Derriaghy this morning.

Officers were called to a shop on Milltown Avenue after robbers stole the till and made off in a silver coloured vehicle.

Police teams quickly located and seized the suspect vehicle. A subsequent house search resulted in two arrests, with a third person being detained a short time later.

All three suspects are currently in custody being interviewed by detectives.
